Windows 7: BSOD - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error

Last night my computer froze on preparing to configure windows updates. I had to resort to a hard rest, since then I have been getting a BSOD.
I have tested each ram disk by removing one at a time, this doesn't seem to be the problem.
I have ran a driver verifier and it is coming up with an hidclass.sys error.

A few things I've tried:
I've system restored to before the BSOD appeared and that worked fine, I then however installed the updates from windows update. Upon restart I now get a BSOD, also now for some reason I can't see the working system restore on the list and am stuck. All other restores cause the BSOD.

I have a feeling it has to do with the updates but I can't open windows update in safe mode so don't know what to do. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've attached all the dump files, the general BSOD, and the driver verifier dump.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have important uni work that needs to be done

EDIT: Also I forgot to mention that this occurs after the welcome screen.
